About the jersey
Designed by À b í k é t h e A r t i s t.Artist Style: Inspired by Yoruba tribal face masks and involves a heavy use of distinct African features such as full lips, broad noses & tribal marks to depict faces in an abstract manner. In particular, tribal marks are a significant part of Yoruba history as people, including my family, used it to trace back their familial ties. These elements align with the messaging of BHM which involves learning about & remembering our historical roots as Africans in the diaspora.
Design: Àbíké the Artist artwork is used on the side trims and 905 logo to create a cohesive & balanced message. The main message of the art is to celebrate all players throughout the diaspora using BHM colours and the abstract faces created using distinct African facial features. Basketballs are also illustrated through the artwork to further support this messaging.
